Fast

Marked picks up your changes every time you save in any editor.

It will even scroll to your most recent edit automatically, keeping your attention on your writing, not your preview.

Easy

Just open the same file in Marked and your favorite editor, and Marked will start rendering previews as you write.

You can write in plain text, and Marked will automatically create beautiful documents (including HTML, PDF and Word) for you in a wide range of styles. You can even make your own!

Flexible

Marked works with any processor (not just Markdown) and supports, well, everything.

Smart tools for smart writers

Marked 2 is the result of hundreds of hours of working to bring you the ultimate writing tool. With intelligent writing features, flexible options and a wide range of support for various markup formats, editing tools and publishing platforms, Marked is a smart addition to any writer’s arsenal. Whether you’re blogging, authoring a book, writing a report or editing a GitHub README file, Marked has you covered.

Marked comes ready to work

It has the latest version of MultiMarkdown built in, with the option to render using Discount. It normalizes most syntax differences, so even if you usually work in other formats, Marked works out of the box in 90% of use cases. In the remaining 10%, you can use other processors or custom scripts to get exactly the results you need. Marked has both pre-processor and processor options.

Beefed up file (and folder) tracking

Marked 2 detects changes and updates faster than ever. It even tracks any files you include within a document using Marked’s special syntax or any of the supported book formats. You can even drag an entire folder onto Marked’s icon and it will start displaying the most recently-edited Markdown or HTML file (you define the types) in the folder, updating every time you start editing a different file. It works with a folder full of notes or a structured book project in nested folders.

If you’re editing a stylesheet — for a Marked theme or for other web design projects — Marked updates its preview style live every time you save, without refreshing. It even watches embedded images for changes and refreshes them on the fly.
